Ringtail Possum Thinks Australian Cat Is Its Daddy, Won’t Let Go
https://www.yahoo.com/news/ringtail-possum-thinks-australian-cat-153538457.html

The infant possum, whose story was first reported by Australia’s 9 News, was separated from its mother and had “jumped aboard Oscar the cat for warmth and company.”

Although Oscar wasn’t ready to be a father, he was gentle and didn’t hurt the tiny baby

Last night I dreamed I bought a baby cat. We played all day and when night fell, just for being the first time I allowed it to sleep next to me. I hugged it so that it would be warm and we were happy.

But then I wake up. Back to real life. With no pet whatsoever (-.-) .

Are you sure you didn't roll over in your sleep and squash it? :nb)

Hehe. I sure didn't. It was a dream with a happy ending :smile:.

But boy, if that were to happen, I'd be like: My cat! :H.

... And terrified.

It won't happen, believe me. What will happen is, that you don't dare to move at all, because your cat found a pretty convenient place for herself and rather inconvenient for you, preferably somewhere between your legs. And you don't dare to disturb her. As a result you will wake up with some pain somewhere and still be tired.

I shall keep that in mind for when, if, my dream comes true.

OK, I'm going to assume you don't know the alternate meaning of what you just said. :biggrin:

Slightly more seriously, it's possible that a cat will want to sleep right across your face, since there's warm breath coming out of your nose/mouth. Once, when I was young, my mother happened to come into my room while I was sleeping and found exactly this situation, to her great alarm. She was surprised the cat had not already smothered me.

:oldconfused: There is an alternate meaning? *thinking* ...I swear I can't think of anything. I'm not good at solving riddles.

If it was a baby cat when, that must have been so cute! And funny.

Here is a gif video of a cat. Tip: If it's not already looping, right click it and check the loop. Enjoy the looping cuteness :partytime:.

Try Googling it. (I don't want to be more explicit here lest I get an infraction/warning.)

No, she was a fully grown black half-Persian, called "Sooty Puss", that friends of my mother rescued from an alley as a kitten. A lovely cat, but we had to curb her desire to sleep across human faces.

Ok, let's see... :wideeyed: Nope. Definitely not what I meant. I meant that we were happy. I hugged it and we slept next to each other happily without a care in the world.

Haha. That makes the phrase: "If not for sleep why is it made of warm." valid. :oldlaugh:

Can't remember if I have posted this video. It looks so fragile :cry:: https://i.imgur.com/SxW5RW4.mp4

The Electronic Cat.

My sociable cat interfered with me today when I was sorting electronic components (resistors). It is not advisable to mix cats with small components, but it is nevertheless pretty nice to have company when doing boring things...

True, true @Bandersnatch! It is truly both physically and emotionally difficult to keep that cat away from playing with small bags and things :smile:.

That reaction. Very cute. If you watch closely, you can see the water droplet.

I'll be off for a while. But if you feel sad, you can always watch photoshopped cat: Original (This one found in the comments)

Honestly, I could see this pic all day, and one month later I would still laugh if I saw it.
